I highly recommend that you attend local REI networking groups and meetups to connect with fellow real estate investors and check out the forums, you can find discussions specific to your goals there and gain valuable insights.

Join local real estate investment groups, attend industry conferences, and seek out mentors with extensive experience in foreclosure properties.

My wife and I did a lot of research, attended live sessions, and I connected with some current and former students and got positive feedback.

Attending industry events, joining local real estate groups, and participating in online forums can provide valuable insights and opportunities.

Yes I mean that in the past we occasionally took 2% *didn't like it but let it slide and now that the buyer broker sets minimum percent we are now at 2.5% firm minimum which is an interesting turn of events. 

A great way to network and meet people in your local community is to attend in person meet ups. 

I personally work in the Columbus, Oh market because my research lead to this market.Build a Local Team:Find reliable local professionals such as real estate agents, property managers, contractors, and attorneys who are familiar with the market.Network with local investors and attend real estate meetups to get referrals and build connections.Set Investment Criteria:Define your investment goals, such as cash flow, appreciation, or a balance of both.Determine your budget, financing options, and the type of properties you want to invest in (single-family homes, multi-family units, commercial properties, etc.).Financial Preparation:Secure financing or funding for your investment.

Frankly if I were you I would connect with very experienced investors here  , get a  JV and partner with a few deals and get  some money out and a lot of knowledge and also  attend a few meetups etc.. 

Specific for the Atlanta Housing Authority, you have to attend the landlord/property manager training session to even accept a section 8 tenant.

I was at their event & I think he taught all the other coaches there.
